Hey all,
Have a 2013 mazda 3 sky activ 6 speed manual. Got it used with 90000km on it. Luckily, it had an extended warranty because the transmission wasn't very good at all....wouldn't shift into certain gears, huge grind into 3rd...anyway, they replaced it with a brand new transmission. Seemed to fix every issue. However, there was always a weeird vibration at around 2000rpm when in second gear. For example, I shift into second and then accelerate. Everytime the tach goes by 2000rpm, there is an odd vibration through the gear shifter and you can hear it. It never affected anything though.
Lately though (whether I just didn't notice before or it just started happening), if I shift into 3rd around 2000rpm, I hear a faint grind - or at least some sort of noise. It does sound similar to the noise that happens in 2nd gear at 2000rpm.
Any idea what this might be? I have about 5000km left on the extended warranty. I just really hope I don't have to go through all this crap again lol.
BUt if any of you might know what this is, please let me know. Synchros maybe?
Thanks
Dave
